Table Array Formula:
=IF(ROWS(C$7:C22)>$C$2,"",INDEX(Tasks!B$3:B$2012,SMALL(IF(Tasks!$U$3:$AH$2012=$B$2,ROW(Tasks!$U$3:$AH$2012
)-ROW(Tasks!$U$3)+1),ROWS(C$7:C22))))

PROBLEM: I can only pull data that matches with 1 column of resources. I want to be able to have the data fill if the resource name is in any of the resource columns. For example if Ana is in the Resource 2 column for project 1 and resource 3 column for project 4, I want both entries to appear.
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as time
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+2 to format cells as time. (Shift 2 is the @ sign).
Sort by date Sort by votes
Not saying Ill answer this but your example data suggests there will only be 4 Resources.
Is that true?

I would actually have 5 Resources. There should be a scroll bar that shows the rest of the data.
Thanks,
